Fitting Kitchen Worktops In Bristol
Much of Bristol’s original terraced housing stock is of the Victorian era, a time when spirit levels were not in common use! At least that could be a conclusion you might arrive at if you’ve ever had the good luck to work on a Victorian terrace restoration.
Some of the dwellings I have seen are pretty shocking. It’s like being in wibbly wobbly world! The ceiling runs one way out of level, the floor runs the other way. If you’re trying to do jobs like fitting skirtings, some of the angles you have to deal with can give you serious brain hurt!
One of the major problems with these houses is the lack of any substantial foundation. They were just slapped up as fast as possible to give the newly arriving workers a roof over their heads. It’s amazing they have stood this long really.
During the first twenty years of their lives many of the dwellings have settled and as such many internal walls have become distorted. This often gives rise to a wedge shaped room with all the wonderful angles that entails.
If you have ever had the thankless task of fitting kitchen worktops in Bristol homes you will know these angles better than most. You’d be advised to brush up on your pro carpentry skills before attempting this kind of work.
Once you’ve completed a few it does become easier and you will become a dab hand and scribing those worktops into those wobbly walls. In fact getting it right can be very satisfying. Good luck in your quest!
